This Ralph vs Viv beef is intense

We got VAMPIRE dragons now??

‘“But every act of translation requires sacrifice, no?”

“Why should we sacrifice?” Aodahn says, his tail flicking. “So that the wyvern tongue can fit into the confines of English? Of—and I mean no offense—one singular, limited human tongue?”

Language subordination.’

Wish I could be a lifelong college student auditing this shit 🥲

High key glad I didn't request the arc and waited for the published audiobook instead bc Henrietta Meire is KILLING IT with these Hebridean Wyvern voices

This chick just asked the wyvern if he's read Wuthering Heights 👁️👄👁️

“He extracted her blood and fed it to me.”

Brother ew

“Why would the rebels send a few teenagers on such a crucial mission?”

Bc this is a YA novel lol

‘“Are you telling me you had some sort of wedding ceremony with a dragon?”

“They’ll wipe us out if we don’t cooperate, you know.” Ralph bites a hangnail. “Or herd us like cattle to be butchered at will. Or keep us as bargaining chips as they expand their regime across the globe.”’

‘“I will thank you,” she snarls, “not to compare me to a wyvern. Obstinate, fickle, two-legged things.”

“I have two legs,” I say, swallowing the laugh in my throat. “Does that mean I’m obstinate and fickle?”’

Lmao

“Chumana’s strawberry scales shine in the lamplight, slick with a natural oil that protects the skin beneath from their rough edges. The sores that used to run up her legs, the result of years spent locked inside a dark library, are gone and her teeth are coated in blood....”

Chumana my fave 😍
